Q: Will this blade cut chipboard on the Explore 5? Is this the same as the "knife blade"?
submitted by Erika - 1 month ago
A: The Cricut Deep Point Blade can typically cut materials up to 1.5 mm thick (about 0.06 inches). This includes materials like some chipboard, magnet sheets, stiffened felt, some foam sheets, and certain leathers. For best results, ensure the material is no thicker than 1.5 mm and always reference Cricut’s official guidelines for material compatibility with your specific machine model.
The Cricut Knife Blade can cut materials up to 2.4 mm (3/32") thick. It is designed for thicker, denser materials such as basswood, balsa wood, chipboard, matboard, and leather.

Excellent blade for fine cutting
Excellent blade for fine cutting vinyl and other materials. I’m still learning about the uses of the three different blades that the Cricut Maker 4 uses. But so far, I really like the deep blade for most materials that I’m cutting.

Great for thicker cuts
We used the Deep-Point Blade and Housing to cut through craft foam and thinner cardboard pieces. It cut like a champ! It cut through material easily. Definitely would recommend.

Deep point blade for leather
It cuts leather less than 2 mm thick without problem, but works best if the piece of leather is small and well taped down to the cutting mat. If the piece is too big, then it tends to stretch the fabric creating wrinkles and bad cuts. Still practicing with it, but it’s doing the job.

Easy to use!
No issues with the product. However I think the description of what the actual functional difference between this and the fine point blade need to be improved on. The thickness range isn't very specific, and it would be good to know which blade is harder for longevity purposes.

Not impressed
I’m not sure if cricut sent me a faulty blade or if they are all this poor, unfortunately out of the 6different blades that I have purchased since Christmas this is the only one that I have communication issues with. The machine will only recognise this blade 10% of the time and the amount of leather I have wasted in the other 90% of deboss and cut projects is off the chart. In general I have been really impressed with cricut products but I find this blade to be dreadful and I dread each time I need to use it because I never know if it will be accepted by the machine which one only finds out half way through the project. On the odd times it has been accepted it has sometimes dragged rather than cut leaving more waste. I find it a frustrating waste of resources, time and not of the standard/quality of the other cricut products I have purchased and I’ve been on quite a purchasing spree this month setting up my lovely and much wanted Christmas present.

Doesn't Work As Advertised - Software Unavailable
I bought this blade since online via Cricut's descriptions it says that it is for thicker materials. The software is so incredibly limiting for no reason! I am choosing to cut specifically what Cricut suggests (heavy cardstock, posterboard, etc), but the machine will only allow me to choose a "fine point blade"---which does not cut all the way through my materials no matter the variations I attempt. The deep point blade does cut through--but even on the 'less' setting--it chews deep into my mat. Which is ruining my mat and likely dulling the blade too. Why advertise to use this product--when you can't actually choose or adjust for it when cutting? I've googled around looking for help, but to no avail.

I cut 1/8 balsa wood on the default setting, but blade only cut about one half to two-thirds way through the wood. I will be experimenting with it on different setting.

Deep cut blade and Veneer
I watched so many post about the deep blade during the veneer event. I was working to many hours to participate but made a mental note. I work in a factory for kitchen cabinets. Long story short I work with veneer every day. I decided to give it a try. I love it. I definitely need more practice but looking forward to seeing what I can make with it.

The description states goes with CriCut air and maker machines. I bought the housing and blades. It DOES NOT fit in my Cricut maker 3!
1 reply from Cricut team - 1 year ago
We are sorry for the confusion. The Deep point blade seen in your picture is for our older legacy machines. The one you need for your Maker 3 is a black housing. The SKU is 2002293. Please contact Cricut Member Care if you require any support.

Leather cutting
Works very well for cutting tooling leather. Cuts are sharp and clean. Tooling leather must be properly cased.
